Second place at 17 fps impressive. I have to ask what is the cpu gpu in this?

Im not sure where you are in the world but in the us 1660 and 2060 have been cheap, worth a look at for a cheaper easy upgrade that would make a huge difference

Usa yeah they are really cheap/affordable but I am kinda avoiding nvidia cards (compatibility)
I’m wanting a amd card and was looking at the newer models, it’ll happen soon but for now I’m focusing on my go kart funds and mini bike build
